- Argos Bleak: [Joe drops his bag of apples, one bounces and Bleak catches it] Hey - are those things edible?
- Looten Plunder: Who cares? They look perfect. They look great; they'll sell.
- [laughs]
- Looten Plunder: Those fainting-spells could mean big doctor bills, Joe. But we'll take care of you. Just make your mark here.
- Joe: [Xs the form] OK, Mr. Plunder. Now what should I do about all those people complaining about the spray?
- Looten Plunder: [grabs the sheet laughing] Whatever you like, Joe. Because according to the fine print here, you're the one responsible.
- [as Joe protests]
- Looten Plunder: You should learn to *read* what you sign!
- [laughs again]
- Wheeler: Plunder! So *you're* behind this!
- Looten Plunder: [on a tractor driving a cart] Yeah. Now get on - and you'll be behind *me*!
- Wheeler: [his Fire cannot breach the dense metal door but ends up popping the corn kernels around it] Well, at least we won't starve.
- Captain Planet: [preparing to throw two metal discs] Plunder's gonna flip over this. Maybe he'll give me an odd job around the farm.
- Captain Planet: Nothing like popcorn to suck up noxious gases. Although I prefer butter and salt myself.
- Joe: [coughing] Captain Planet, I'm sorry. This was all my fault because I can't read.
- Captain Planet: Yes, you can. Read my face.
- [he looks optimistic]
- Joe: So what's to be happy about? The farm has gone up in flames!
- Captain Planet: Plunder and Bleak are gone for good, and most importantly, you have a dear friend who will teach you to read.
- Joe: I read ya loud and clear, Cap.
- Captain Planet: The power is yours, Joe.
- Joe: Angela is teaching me how to read and write. This is my first effort. I wrote it for her.
- [takes a peper out his pocket and hands it to her]
- Joe: Will you marry me?
- Angela: Oh, Joe!
- [hugs him]
- Angela: Of course I will!
- Wheeler: [grinning] I hope you read the fine print on the marriage certificate, Joe.
- Joe: Whatever it says, I'll say "I do".
- Wheeler: And *I* say: kiss the bride-to-be.
- Ma-Ti: [during the Planeteer Alert] You can find anything you want to know in books, like many different ways to save the Earth.
- Kwame: And how to make known toxic garden sprays out of common kitchen spices like pepper.
- Gi: You have to be able to read. There's nothing to be ashamed of if you can't.
- Wheeler: There are plenty of folks around who'd love to teach you. Just ask anyone at your local library.
- Captain Planet: Remember: taking care of the planet begins with you. Learn to read and the power will be yours.
